  • RustTyrannomon shin megami tensei fan (derogatory) (@RustTyrannomon) reported

    all the bad takes are clogging my intertubes and making overwatch lag 😔

  • tadhanastar lyn's at soup 🍲 (@tadhanastar) reported

    update: i tried a match on overwatch for the first time and my internet and laptop combined made me just lag so hard i stood in the corner until someone took me out. perhaps buying this was not my brightest idea

  • kalypsospark kaly (@kalypsospark) reported

    I wanna play overwatch just to heal people again- yes I have a problem

  • yaakov_h Yaakov - יעקב (@yaakov_h) reported

    I now have the latest firmware updates, latest Ryzen chipset driver, have disabled pcie4 and global c-state. Let’s see if I can make it through just one round of Overwatch without problems.

  • VynKami Mashiまし🦋👾🏴‍☠️🍙🥐⚓️ (@VynKami) reported

    tfw I've got a lot of people who want to play Overwatch with me. Problem is, they only want to play QP because "ranked is too toxic". Man, peko.

  • eiur17 nonnigamer (@eiur17) reported

    @not_Redd That was a close one, i can’t play overwatch cuz my ps4 is broken

  • AlexStritar Alex, Amature Prosesional (@AlexStritar) reported

    @ashleylynch Glad to know I’m not the only one who still plays Overwatch. And honestly, a game being live service isn’t the problem. It’s just like any type of game, can be done well or poorly, you just can’t slap together some assets, open up a server, and just say you’ll add more later.

  • 3choplays nico | #winnable (@3choplays) reported

    i really wanted to play overwatch during the lunar new uear event, i even got a vacation so having time wasn't a problem. then depression hit and paralyzed me. i'm so annoyed with myself

  • grandusg1 Corrupt Democratic Machine (@grandusg1) reported

    @ogbillybatson The problem is plenty of ******** would reset it to **** with new and returning players. Dude just got his copy of SF V, goes against NewRyu7556 and it's ******* Justin Wong*. It's a rampant problem in Overwatch. *Of course not saying Justin would do this

  • c0ctus bönk (@c0ctus) reported

    @sibbsbutemo overwatch is csgo for people with attentional problems

  • purrezii mikey ☆彡 (@purrezii) reported

    in overwatch 2 can they fix the overwatch league skin details to match the colours of the team too? for example: mercy’s wing colour, genji dragon, sombra make up + hair, etc

  • purgedszn Purged(CHECK PINNED) (@purgedszn) reported

    @tokryo2021 I quit fortnite. I play overwatch and do drop shipping. Fortnite is such a dogshit game, so many bugs, updates dont fix anything, they dont listen to the com, so I quit

  • OutcastAnother Mr. Chao (@OutcastAnother) reported

    @MiraLimit @meowtiddy Should of put her in Overwatch, they have no problem showing stuff

  • Panda_Rue Panda._.Rue (@Panda_Rue) reported

    Again, this isn't to hate or anything, I just see a lot of complaints all the time about balance but everyone seems to have varying ideas of what would "balance" the game but they all effect each other. #Overwatch #gaming #imconfused Is this an issue in other games?

  • jonteboiiiiii homogayboyy (@jonteboiiiiii) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN My friend can still not login to overwatch, this has been going on since yesterday, he played the whole day before that but now it says failed to log you in

  • lady_will0w Willow 🌸💦||❄️🔥 (@lady_will0w) reported

    @daylight__star It’s not even EU mandated I think. It’s only my country that has heavy restrictions. Most EU members haven’t ratified it yet. Overwatch and EA games had to fix stuff specifically for my country. Nintendo didn’t bother and pulled their games from mobile store

  • Grembash (Un)lucky Clover (@Grembash) reported

    @Rynoka_Starvale That's the issue, I haven't played overwatch in a long *** time I'd have to see who I click with now

  • BasilButSwag Gamer Basil (@BasilButSwag) reported

    @sunnyomori It may be valid but I want to play overwatch with you because we never did it before and I cant do that if i sleep all day // i need to fix my sleep schedule hjkfdfjh

  • loopunderground alex 🌌 (@loopunderground) reported

    someone tell me why i was stupid enough to think i wouldn’t encounter the same problem in overwatch djdhdhs

  • AHeckingChild Zamboni D.Va Skin please❓❗️ (@AHeckingChild) reported

    @OnesieLightYear overwatch isnt sweaty, games just broken

  • ashleylynch Ashley Lynch™️ ✂️🎬 (@ashleylynch) reported

    I don't have a problem with live service games as a rule. I've played Overwatch every week since it's launch without fail and I continue to jump in and out of playing Dead By Daylight, but there's some big live service games you just know won't exist a year later.

  • Tem_OW Tem (@Tem_OW) reported

    @ricekrizpies @ChaseOW2 @ChaseOwO No I have said that I think they should be the same I do not think that it’s a fake problem. I’m just saying a reason why there are not as many female players in overwatch... I think that it’s simple that if there are not as many woman who play the game then there are not as many

  • MogMoira Dr Moira O'Deorain - Minister of Genetics, Oasis (@MogMoira) reported

    @BlinkinMad "This is a pre-recorded message from Dr Moira O'Deorain of the Overwatch research and development Division. It doesn't work like that. You watch too many holos. You have been booked in for a training course in computer science in room 5 at Watchpoint Grand Mesa on [date error]"

  • ryansk Ryan Kneer (@ryansk) reported

    @brektyme We solved for this exact issue by using merge request approval pipelines. Somehow, using us as overwatch made devs comfortable with change.

  • bigolmooj Moojima (@bigolmooj) reported

    Remember that overwatch song we were all memeing on forever ago? How come the guy singing it didnt pick Mercy? If he noticed it was a problem how come he didnt swap.

  • HowlingSkittle Wolfyy✞ (@HowlingSkittle) reported

    I generally am so happy I've moved to American servers now for overwatch, I'm sorry but I'm too scared to run into old people I had issues with and apart from that, EVERYONE IVE MET ON THE AMERICAN SERVERS ARE SO SWEET LIKE ********

  • AmalgamGoblin || Gobugam♛ || (@AmalgamGoblin) reported

    @Pandarianssb That's an unwinnable interaction, Overwatch has a few of them unfortunately. BroKen Only solution was to switch characters........

  • Bible_Salesman The Bible Salesman (@Bible_Salesman) reported

    London Calling #5 was incredibly bizarre both as a standalone issue and as a conclusion to the only Overwatch comic in 2 years, but at least the cops were deleted from the story and replaced with Winston. I still really like the artstyle. The background omnics are great.

  • lagginator Lagginator ❼ (@lagginator) reported
